Quote from: Fifth Element;319718I stand corrected! Is it something like Ludicrous Speed?

Something like that, yes.

I don't get it.

Is she inside or behind the circus pavillion?

Her weight is none of our business. But that dress made of curtains is a crime.

Her choice of clothing clearly indicates some deep emotional trauma, that manifests itself as being a total bitch and trying to murder my childhood.

Dresses like just about every other fat gamer chick with self-image issues that I know. You could probably throw a Cthulhu plushie at GenCon this weekend and hit a dozen more just like her. Probably a wiccan too. Except she was contemptuous of gamers... go figure.

Please don't do that ever again.

Just as an example Flint Dille has credit on the Transformers G1 TV SERIES, pretty much the start of all the brouhaha, which even if he was just fronting money, still implies a successful venture of epic proportions on his part.

Quote from: OneTinSoldier;319326Actually, body-language studies and VICAP profiling doctrine* asserts it as being a fact. As with any psy-read, its not hard science, but statistically it is true.

* = in case you're not familar with the program, it has (over the course of thousands of cases) established a 93% accuracy ratio).

True that.

QuoteGygax was an idiot, in business terms. He had a flash of creative glory translateing mini rules into a more personal gaming experience, and because of his timing, he started a niche hobby. And that's about the extent of his glory. He was a failure as a businessman (not unusal in the RPG industry), and was a has-been by the mid-80s.

Again I agree. I don't think that Gygax was the Perfect Being some persons make of him. He was at the right time at the right place, and had a good idea. He struck true exactly once.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;319327As I said, even assuming that fatness is an indicator of personality (which fails to explain what happens when someone changes their physique, does their personality change too?)

Actually it does change, Kyle. Though I agree with you on most of your points on this thread, the body you have relates to your personality, and most times the body and fitness you have is a product of your choices.

QuoteOf course, had TSR gone on to (for example) buy Wizards and later Hasbro under Williams' leadership, nerds would be saying how brilliant Gygax was to bring her in, and how really he deserves all the credit.

Absolutely, and I find that hilarious.

QuoteThis is all about fat gamer geeks looking at the success of another fat gamer geek and wishing it were them. That's why we can't criticise him - because it's striking at the heart of the gamer geek fantasy of success.

Good one.

This is my fat ass while my g/f and I were travelling on foot through St James' Pathway, just so you know where I stand.

For Kyle:
I'm not fat, but I am extremely high in this picture:

LOL.

I LOVE Achille Talon! Thanks for that!

by concerted lack of will, yes, I know what it means, and yes it was intentional. I was referring to such persons tending to have been allowed to indulge themselves by their parents, and actively avoiding making efforts to avoid the weight. Very few people that big MAKE any effort, and often actively avoid efforts to avoid food.

It's almost oxymoronic, but not quite. They and those around them actively avoid any effort to both avoid overeating and to burn the calories.

This is false. I work in the diet industry (don't ask), and lots of people try very hard to control their eating and still fail.
